Help me choose a mentor
I'm in the process of applying for an EMEA mentorship program which (talking to different people) I have a very good chance of getting into. The application process allows me to choose only ONE line of business for the mentor I'd like to be paired with. Here's the deal: although I'd like to work in...
Shall I retake A Levels I did 5 years ago as I keep getting rejections? (London)
TL;DR Rejected from summers last year, managed to improve my CV dramatically but still rejections at the first stage. A Level grades are beyond below what the avg candidate has (BCC and major extenuating circumstances) - should I retake them as I feel as though it’s the main thing setting me back...
How early can you get a referral for MBB summer internships?
I have begun networking for summer internships at MBB, and I have had a few calls with alumni so far. Is it too early to start asking for referrals, or should I be doing so already? More generally, how early before the application deadlines should I be trying to get referrals?
Age for post MBA recruiting

For personal reasons I'm thinking of declining it and potentially asking for a deferal with the goal of graduating from that school or another top program a year or two later. My two concerns...

European Masters Ranking - MBB Edition
Hey chimps, I saw the European Masters Ranking post (can't add a link) and liked it except that there wasn't a consulting only version, so I did what any autistic chimp would do and pored over alumni statistics for the UK offices of the MBB trio for longer than I'd like to admit. There are a few...

I've been lucky enough to land two consulting internships (after junior year of college) - one from Deloitte, and another from Strategy& (PwC). I'm wondering which one I should take. Here's what I'm thinking so far, where a "*" indicates that these are the most important factors I'm taking into...
Accenture Management Consulting Development Program
Hi Guys, I know there are a ton of posts out there already about Accenture MC, but I wanted to get some opinions on my current position. I go to a private university that is very well-regarded regionally but perhaps not on as much on a national scale. In the past I have interned at a F500 company in...

"How some men fake an 80 hour work-week and why it matters" - interesting New York Times article
Did anyone see today's article in the NY Times by Neil Irwin in the Upshot section?

Is this something the...
Sales/Business Operations and Strategy Teams
I notice a lot of people from consulting backgrounds go into 'Sales Strategy and Operations' or 'Business Operations and Strategy' teams at firms after gaining 1-3 years experience. If you could enter one of these teams as a graduate (though extremely rare from what I have seen and require 1-3 years...
Thoughts on NYU Stern MBA for M/B/B and Tier 2 Strategy Consulting
I am considering NYU Stern (already accepted) and interested in M/B/B consulting. NYU Stern doesn't publish their placement statistics beyond giving asterisks to companies that hire 3 or more students (M/B/B all have asterisks), so it's hard to gauge how strong they are for consulting.
Interning in London: BCG vs. McKinsey
I've got offers from both for a summer internship (undergrad) in their respective London offices. I suppose I might have liked the atmosphere at BCG slightly more, but I just don't feel that a few interviews is enough for me to draw definitive conclusions -- everyone I interviewed with was lovely....
For sponsored MBAs, what do you do for your summer internship? How do you get one in the first place?
Was curious how this worked. Especially since MBB sponsored consultants don't work for them in the summer. What exactly do you do? Do you still go through OCR or does your firm help you find a gig during the summer?
MBB CAGR?
Hi monkeys! I recently got an offer with an MBB and am interviewing with the other two.

Personally, I think M=B=B right now - and which one...

is MBB consulting now better than BB Ibanking?
There is a lot of discussion regarding MBB consulting vs. BB Ibanking, and the general concensus is basically that IB pays more but more hours, exit opp to PE and MBB pays less but better hours and feeder to top Bschools. However, check out this http://managementconsulted.com/consulting-jobs/20…...
How often do you get a case that's purely numbers?
In some of the Case in point cases (ex. case #17), Cosentino provides cases that are purely number-based. Not much analysis but simply running big numbers in your head like (7,700/270,00) and having to provide percentages. How often are these cases? Just wondering because these don't seem very...
MBB Summer Start Dates
What are the general start dates for MBB summer internships (undergrads)? I'm studying abroad at Oxford and term does not end until June 15th, meaning I would probably miss the training week if internships start in the beginning of June. Are they typically (in)flexible about these situations, and...

McKinsey IWIA/first round results for International Offices
Hey folks, I just did the McKinsey first round/IWIA last week in the US. I'm interviewing for a Middle East office.

Networking and Asking for Internships
I'm trying to move into Consulting, with an emphasis within Public Sector initially.

Cornell MPP v Duke MMS v Tufts MIB v Georgetown MPP
I have admits to all the programs. I want to get into MBB or even outside the main (thinking Oliver Wyman, OC&C, AT Kearney) As MBB are brand whores, I have narrowed my choices to the above. I am still waiting on Chicago and USC but likely will end somewhere above. I like the Cornell program because...
How to get into consulting from PHD
Hi guys, I know PHDs are usually supposed to go into academia, but a previous thread (which I deleted because I realized it was too specific and might reveal my identity to the school, lol) convinced me that the school I could go to for the PHD program has just a much higher prestige factor than the...
